I&#39;ve seen those kinds of books showing up a lot, I even tried one once, but it wasn&#39;t something I enjoyed. And even though it is &quot;in&quot; right now, it wouldn&#39;t be something I would enjoy writing. Though all authors are doing it and there is that little sense in the back of the mind that says, &quot;If you want to scuessed you should write it too.&quot; But if we do start writing things we don&#39;t enjoy, it kind of looses the purpose to write at all.

For me, it does have to be a labor of love, if not I just spin my wheels and sit there staring at a blank screen feeling like I totally stink. I&#39;m so glad you agree with me!

What a wonderful analogy, and one that is so apropos to my life at this moment. It&#39;s funny, because for Christmas I got these YELLOW jeans. Sunshine Yellow or Cream Corn or Dandelion Petal or something like that. Tres cool, but I feel like a middle-aged man trying to recapture my youth or something, waiting on the delivery of my custom red Ferrari. Why? Because they&#39;re YELLOW. I&#39;ve never been one to follow trends.<br /><br />Good for you and your rockin&#39; self, Morgana. I think you rock in the long socks, and you rock in your writing. This year, the best is yet to come. Many blessings.<br /><br /><a title="Composers for Relief | Supporting the Philippines" href="http://mlswift.me/2013/12/31/the-best-is-yet-to-come/%22%22" rel="nofollow">M.L.

Quite correct and do not feel pressure in your writing. Do not try to live up to perceived expectations of what you think others might be thinking of how you should write. <br /><br />I love your leggings and I might just get a pair. Just remember, as you dance, let your words continue to dance. It&#39;s all good.<br /><br />Welcome to 2014 and here&#39;s to a fulfilling time for you, Morgan.<br /><br />Gary :) <br /><br />klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600322131005020674.post-73403595981370935952013-12-31T14:37:52.089-08:002013-12-31T14:37:52.089-08:00I just read a quote from &quot;Writing About Your ...I just read a quote from &quot;Writing About Your Life&quot; by the wonderful William Zinsser: Write about things that are important to you, not about what you think readers will want to read, or editors will want to publish or agents will want to sell... But dare to follow your interest if they call out to you strongly. <br /><br />Let&#39;s be daring, Morgan.

Editing is where you need to keep the market somewhat in mind, but not to the point where you change your story into something you don&#39;t love. :-)<br /><br />Have an amazing New Year!

I used to fence and we had to wear these tight, white spandex pants (part of the uniform), and I thought I could manage to wear them across campus to &quot;just get home&quot; after practice. Yeah... umm, most uncomfortable 10 minutes of MY LIFE! (and I have some other really uncomfortable moments, so that really means something). I never ever forgot to bring my civilian clothes after that (never). <br /><br />On the other hand, how would you have known you didn&#39;t like the leggings until you tried... (can you tell, I&#39;m writing contemporary right now and I usually stay pretty close to the fantasy/sci fi?).

That&#39;s the trend, apparently, and I&#39;m so not a part of that cute trend. Anyway, I feel the same way about writing. I had an epiphany this past year. I&#39;ll write from my heart. If others like it? Bonus. If not, it&#39;s still from my heart :)Julie Musilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150454913885915017noreply@blogger.com
